The Eat-a-Bug Cookbook by chef David Gordon is all about the shtf skills of cooking and eating insects.
Thriving after shtf is going to require both shtf gear and shtf skills. For example, prepping only by storing food and tools like flashlights and gas masks, and such will work really well in the beginning, right up until desperate or angry people rob you in your own home. Or in the case that you bugged out, kick you out of your bug out location all together. If you don’t have the skills to defend what you have, to defend those you love, you are going to survive for a while but not thrive.
But don’t get me wrong; the skills that you will need after shtf will mostly not be Rambo related. You will for the far greater majority of the time need the skills to manage and renew your resources. Gardening is going to be a big part of that in terms of renewing your food stores. Canning is going to be a part of that process as well. But in terms of managing food resources a much avoided subject is flexibility. What happens if your pantry floods, or you loose your crops due to a pest? You’re not going to hunt; a million different people are hunting in the same place as you and there’s nothing left but the earth worms. So how about preparing to be flexible?
Eating insects is generally something one only does on a dare, but after the shtf we might all start doing it for nutrition. Figure out how with The Eat-a-Bug Cookbook.
